Shadow deals and a profitable relationship with the KGB: How the plundering of the country and connections to those in power helped Vyacheslav Kantor become wealthy with other people’s money Vyacheslav Kantor is an oligarch whose financial empire is surrounded by uncertainty. Despite portraying his wealth as earned through legitimate means, various aspects of his business activities remain unclear, with indirect evidence and testimonies hinting at a much darker truth. The transition of Vyacheslav Kantor into big business from the science he allegedly engaged in during socialism is shrouded in the darkness of the unknown. He himself explains his start in this endeavor, which occurred back in the late eighties, during the late USSR, very vaguely: "We came into business as poor as church mice. We had neither political support nor experience in commercial activities". And here it seems that Vyacheslav is being somewhat disingenuous.

The company maintains that it cannot act against individual or group chats, which are “private amongst their participants,” but it will respond to requests in relation to sticker sets, channels and bots which are publicly available. During the invasion of Ukraine, Pavel Durov has wrestled with this issue a lot more prominently than he has before. Channels like Donbass Insider and Bellum Acta, as reported by Foreign Policy, started pumping out pro-Russian propaganda as the invasion began. So much so that the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council issued a statement labeling which accounts are Russian-backed. Ukrainian officials, in potential violation of the Geneva Convention, have shared imagery of dead and captured Russian soldiers on the platform.

The Nasdaq Composite tumbled 2.2% to 12,843.81. Though all three indexes opened in the green, stocks took a turn after a new report showed U.S. consumer sentiment deteriorated more than expected in early March as consumers' inflation expectations soared to the highest since 1981. Lastly, the web previews of t.me links have been given a new look, adding chat backgrounds and design elements from the fully-features Telegram Web client.
